Runout and matrix codes

Etched or stamped in the dead wax between the last track and the label. If yours match, you have this pressing.

XXLP-49640-1AA ... ^ ... I /Side A, etched. "^" is a small triangular mark that is so deep it might be something else. The "I /" appearing later are distinct.
XXLP-49641-1AA ... I+ ... I /Side B, etched. "I*" is a crossbarred capital "i" with an asterix superimposed in the middle. As with side A might be something else, but the cross-bars are a distinguishing element. The final "I /" (if that is what it is) is mostly buried under the label.
